So, I have to pay $30.00 yearly more???
what is the advantage of buying the license for life?

So you don't want free support on one hand but on the other you don't want to pay for it? Doesn't compute... blue screen of death... holding the power button in for 8 seconds! LOL. Just being silly.

When you purchase a license, you are getting that license as an owned license. If you purchase it this year will you be able to download updates for a full year. If you decide you don't want to pay for the yearly support, you will no longer have updates available to you next year or whenever your term expires. You still own the version you have purchased and you still have a lifetime ownership of that version but you will not be provided support in our ticket system nor will you have access to subscriber forums here nor will you have the ability to download future updates.

Hope that clears it up. $30.00 a year for support is a small price to pay especially for quality and knowledgeable support.

I understand. Exchange rates fluctuate and it's different but honestly, you won't find a better support team anywhere and when Joomla or WHMCS comes out with updates, we make sure to make the necessary changes and update our product so it's a win win for all of us. Trust me, we're not getting rich off this product.
